TIPAT

Training towards innovative personalized antibiotic therapy

With Marie Skłodowska-Curie to new young researchers

TIPAT is an innovative training network for 15 early stage researchers (ESRs)/doctoral candidates. It is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie International Training Network (ITN) of the European Commission.

The ESRs use knowledge about the interactions between drugs, pathogens and the immune response to develop new, individualised treatments. A unique interdisciplinary team of academic experts, hospitals, start-ups and pharmaceutical companies leads this training programme. In addition to exciting science, the programme also includes training on regulatory and entrepreneurial aspects.

Ultimately, the TIPAT programme will broaden the career prospects of the participating ESRs and create a lasting educational network. Furthermore, the aim of the scientific innovations is to enable personalised antibiotic treatments to address current and future challenges of antimicrobial resistance. 

‘The approach of not only working across national borders, but also bringing together science, industry and business has great potential. Starting with this in the training of young researchers is forward-looking.’

Assoc.Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr. Markus Zeitlinger Head of Departmend and project leader at MedUni Wien
